This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3113 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £42,500, and Siemens Energy Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 5223 (Metal working production and maintenance fitters, Mechanical/hydraulic tooling and equipment maintenance focus) or SOC 1123 (Production managers and directors in mining and energy, Supervises and leads offshore operations, but not main role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
